I find myself baffled.
Neil Parish has told the BBC he is resigning as an MP after admitting he watched pornography twice in Parliament.
Mr Parish, who has represented Tiverton and Honiton in Devon since 2010, said it had been a “moment of madness”.
I have no words.
He said the first time was accidental after looking at a tractor website, but the second time – in the House of Commons – was deliberate.
Tractors. Ah, of course, that explains it. If you are in a hole, just dig a deeper one. The jokes write themselves. But, seriously here for a moment, whatever possessed the man to look at porn while at work?
Tractor porn?
I can just hear Jeremy Clarkson: “I went on the internet today, and I found THIS…”
Easily done. I blame autocorrect- you tap in ‘Massey Ferguson’ and find yourself looking at massive erections…
Searching for Tractor will bring up enthusiastic USSR couples making out on the Steppes. Celebrating another Tractor reproduction record broken.
It will not be in colour though.
How on earth was he rumbled?
Easy mistake to make – we’d all better be careful Googling anything like ‘Ploughub’ if there’s anyone around.
Tractors + he is/was a farmer
Sheep shagging porn?
Woman and Dog, Horse, Carrot… porn?
“…whatever possessed the man to look at porn while at work?”
As well as being completely ignorant about how stuff works, our elected representatives lack a single gram of common sense.
and I would add decency and integrity. I wouldn’t want to be the female MP sitting next to or behind him and glimpsing it.
If that female MP was in the right place, she’d simply tap him on the shoulder and say ‘Put it away until a break, chum’ and get on with her own business.
Not go running to the papers…
But it is a reflection of the calibre of the individual that they’re not attending to the business of the chamber but watching porn (or, indeed, playing Candy Crush).
I’d imagine he was just checking out pictures of Angela Reyner.
